The S2009 includes an integrated Broadband Sounder™ module with
plug-and-play transducer port, compatible with Simrad and Airmar
transducers equipped with blue 7-pin connectors. Adapters are available
to allow easy and cost-effective retrofit of existing Simrad, Airmar,
and other third-party transducers.

Heave compensation eliminates the vertical effects of wave action
from sonar depth measurements, enhancing the accuracy and consistency of
bottom tracking in rough conditions. This feature requires a compatible
NMEA 2000®-connected satellite compass such as the Simrad HS60 or HS70
to provide real-time heave data.

With a compact 9-inch LCD in portrait orientation, the S2009 maximizes screen size where limited mounting space is available. Its
portrait orientation is well suited to fishing applications, displaying
the water column with a high level of vertical detail.

The S2009 Fish Finder offers a range of features to quickly and
easily adjust the on-screen image to suit the task at hand. White Line
clearly separates the water column from the bottom with a high-contrast
white line, for enhanced bottom visibility. White Marker allows any
user-selected color from the fish finder image to be replaced with
high-contrast white, highlighting specific sonar echoes corresponding to
fish or other targets of interest. Color Erase allows any selected
color to be blended into the background, eliminating unwanted noise or
unimportant features from the display.

The S2009 is operated by an integrated keypad and rotary dial.
Direct-access menu keys beside the display provide intuitive control of
on-screen menu options, for one-button access to key settings and
features. With reliable, long-life operation and clear tactile feedback,
the S2009's large buttons are suitable for use in rough seas, while traveling at speed, and with wet or gloved hands.

The S2009 may be flush-mounted, ideal for installation aboard new
vessels. Alternatively, the included gimbal bracket is well suited to
outside installations or pilothouse refits. With watertight rear
connectors, the S2009 is IPX7 water-resistant from all sides, in either
flush- or bracket-mount installation.

The S2009 includes Ethernet connectivity to share sonar data with
other Simrad systems including NSO evo2 and NSS evo2 multifunction
displays. The S2009 may also be used as a dedicated fish finder display
for NSS evo2 systems, receiving sonar data from an NSS evo2 display's
built-in Broadband Sounder™ module. Other devices may be networked via
the S2009's NMEA 2000® and dual NMEA 0183® ports, enabling additional
functionality such as waypoint marking and sharing with compatible
devices * Simrad Commercial S2009 and S2009 products currently only
support limited Ethernet networking capabilities to Simrad BSM-2 and
BSM-3 sounders. Full Ethernet networking to the Simrad line of Displays
and ECDIS, as well as the SonarHub sounder module will be implemented in
the RTM2 software release expected delivery June 2016.

The S2009 is capable of recording sonar history to a full-sized SD
memory card, which may be easily inserted and removed via a waterproof
access hatch on the front panel. Recorded sonar logs may be used with
the cloud-based Insight Genesis™ service to create custom fishing
charts, or BioBase GIS software to create detailed aquatic bathymetric
and vegetation maps for survey and research purposes.
